Re: filmscanners: Can't download Silverfast 5.2

Yes, there is the three pronged fork icon in the Plug-ins> Import/Export>
SilverFast folder.  I had overlooked it thinking that it was the one for
version 5.1.2, but on looking at Get info, I see that it is for  5.20r05.
So, it does appear but seems to be locked as on trying to open the program,
I still get the message, "Could not complete the import command because an
error occurred loading the plug-in."  In the Silverfast(Polaroid) folder,
there is the plug-in, a 'SilverFast' folder containing five sub-files, and a
SF_ LogFile, which seems to be for version 5.1.2. I'm sending this as an
attachment.  Perhaps, it will be of some help.
